Sun Tan Lotion

BUPA suntan care guide - is a tan healthy, skin damage & exposure You need to have javascript enabled for scripts to allow image rollovers and automatic dates to work. search home products & services health information facilities finder about BUPA jobs at BUPA contact BUPA health factsheets | health in the news | healthy lifestyles | medicines | health tests | health information | healthy living | general health issues BUPA's sun care guide: Is a tan healthy? Keypoints The darkening of the skin after being in the sun (a tan) is produced when UV rays from sunlight trigger the production of the pigment melanin in the skin. Far from being healthy, a tan is actually a sign that the skin has been damaged and is trying to protect itself. Exposure to the sun increases exposure to UV rays and this can raise the risk of developing skin cancer. Exposure to sunlight helps the body to produce vitamin D, but Cancer Research UK says the amount we receive in our day-to-day lives is sufficient. Sunbathing isn't needed to help create vitamin D. The safest way to achieve a tan is to use fake tanning lotions. However, a fake tan offers little protection against the sun's UV rays, so you will still need to wear sunscreen. Sunbeds emit the same harmful UV rays as the sun and cause the same skin damage problems as normal sunbathing. Many people strive to get and maintain a tanned look, especially during the summer months when skin is more likely to be shown off. And it is a popular belief that being tanned is a healthy look, but is this really true? What is a tan and how is it produced? The darkening of the skin that is commonly referred to as tanning is produced when UV rays from the sun trigger the production of the pigment melanin in the skin. Rather than being a sign of a healthy process, getting a tan through sunbathing actually means that your skin has been damaged and is trying to protect itself. Dr. Vivienne Nathanson, from the British Medical Association, said, "People need to be educated about the myths of tanning. A suntan is not a sign of good health. A tan, even when there's no burning, always means the skin has been damaged." Even though a tan will fade over time, the damage it has caused skin remains. This skin damage puts you at a greater risk of skin cancer and it also causes premature ageing. Some people get their tans by using sunbeds. However, sunbeds mimic the effect of the sun by emitting UVA radiation and cause skin damage in the same way as normal sunbathing. In fact, said Cancer Research UK (CRUK), "There's no such thing as a safe tan - unless it comes out of a bottle." There are some myths that suggest that getting a tan could help protect against the sun's harmful effects, but as Dr. Nathanson said, "A suntan is not nature's own sunscreen, it does not protect you from ultra-violet radiation." In fact, continued exposure will only result in increasing your risk of skin cancer. A spokesperson for the Australasian College of Dermatologists added, "A suntan does not prevent skin cancer. It's a sign of exposure to enough ultraviolet radiation to damage the skin, increasing your risk of premature skin ageing, photo-ageing and skin cancer." Harsh reality of tanning The harsh reality of tanning is that, whether through sunbathing or using sunbeds, people are literally risking their lives. "A tan isn't a sign of health," explained a spokesperson for the UK Department of Health's Sun Safe campaign. "Your skin tans in order to protect itself from more skin damage. If people changed their behaviour, they would dramatically reduce their risk of skin cancer." Neither do you need to have experienced sunburn in order to be damaged by the sun. "The damage done to the skin from even one episode of overexposure can never be repaired," explained a spokesperson for the Australasian College of Dermatologists. "That is why it is so important to make sun protection a routine part of your life, from birth to old age." According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), exposure to UV rays in the course of getting a tan could also have effects on your immune system. "Several studies have demonstrated that exposure to environmental levels of UV radiation alters the activity and distribution of some of the cells responsible for triggering immune responses in humans," explained a spokesperson. As a result, sun exposure may increase the risk of developing viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections, an outcome far from the consequences many sun worshippers bargain for. But it hasn't always been the case that people desire a suntan - 100 years ago, most people craved pale skin, believing it to be a social and fashion asset. Sunlight and vitamin D Despite the obvious dangers of unprotected sun exposure, we do need some contact with sunlight as it helps with the production of vitamin D. This is an essential vitamin that plays a number of important roles, including helping regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, which is needed to help keep our teeth and bones healthy. Some vitamin D comes from food, such as oily fish, liver, fortified foods and eggs, but most of it comes from exposure to sunlight. "The vitamin forms under the skin in reaction to sunlight, with the best source being summer sunlight," said the Food Standards Agency (FSA). "Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means you don't need it every day because any of the vitamin your body doesn't need it immediately is stored for future use." Tanning, however, or any other unprotected, excessive exposure to sun shouldn't be used as an excuse for obtaining vitamin D. "Although sunshine is vital for our bodies to produce vitamin D, we get a sufficient dose from exposure as part of our daily routine," explained a CRUK spokesperson. "Deliberate exposure to sunlight does not provide any health benefits." Action points Be aware that sunbathing or using a sunbed increases the risk of developing skin cancer and other skin problems (such as premature ageing). Make sure your skin is protected with sunscreen if you're out in the sun, regardless of whether you have a tan or not. If you're desperate for a tan, the safest way of achieving it is to fake it by using tanning lotion. Faking it If you would like to have a golden glow, then faking it by using a tanning lotion is the safest way. There are a variety of fake tan lotions on the market to choose from and many produce realistic results. However, a fake tan offers little protection from the sun's UV rays and you will still need to take the same precautions in the sun, by using sunscreen and wearing protective clothes, as you would when you have no tan at all. Summary Having a bronzed body after sunbathing or using sunbeds is not a healthy way to be. In gaining your tan, the UV rays from the sun or sunbed will have caused irreversible damage to your skin, increased your risk of developing skin cancer and will have speeded up your skin's ageing process. As Cancer Research UK says, "There's no such thing as a safe tan (unless it comes out of a bottle)."

Anti Aging

Anti-aging hormone reduces reactive oxygen species home xml feeds news alerts weekly newsletter advertise accessibility contact Archive Search Medical Abbreviations www.medilexicon.com Anti-aging hormone reduces reactive oxygen species Category: Seniors/Aging News Article Date: 09 Nov 2005 - 0:00am (UK) Scientists recently discovered an anti-aging hormone called Klotho. Now, a new study shows that this protein acts by increasing the cell's ability to detoxify harmful reactive oxygen species. The research appears as the "Paper of the Week" in the November 11 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, an American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology journal. The klotho gene, named after the Greek goddess who spins life's thread, is associated with preventing aging in mammals. The klotho gene product, or Klotho protein, is secreted in the blood and functions as an anti-aging hormone. A defect in the klotho gene in mice leads to a syndrome closely resembling human aging, while overexpression of the gene extends lifespan in mice. Now Makoto Kuro-o, assistant professor of pathology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, has discovered one way in which Klotho extends lifespan. Using both cultured cells and transgenic mice, the researchers showed that Klotho increases resistance to oxidative stress. "Increased longevity is always associated with increased resistance to oxidative stress," explains Kuro-o. "Oxidative stress causes the accumulation of oxidative damage to important biological macromolecules such as DNA, lipids, and proteins that would result in functional deterioration of the cell, which eventually causes aging." "In this study," says Kuro-o, "we propose that Klotho does its job by increasing the ability of the cell to detoxify harmful reactive oxygen species, thereby increasing resistance to oxidative stress of the body." The protein acts by turning on an enzyme called manganese superoxide dismutase. This enzyme, found in the mitochondria of the cell, then hydrolyzes harmful superoxide into less harmful hydrogen peroxide. This research may eventually lead to the development of anti-aging drugs, a long-standing goal of many pharmaceutical companies. "We showed that the anti-aging hormone Klotho confers resistance to oxidative stress in cells and animals," says Kuro-o. "This means that Klotho protein itself or small molecule mimetics may be potentially useful as anti-aging medicines." The Journal of Biological Chemistry's Papers of the Week is an online feature which highlights the top one percent of papers received by the journal. Brief summaries of the papers and explanations of why they were selected for this honor can be accessed directly from the home page of the Journal of Biological Chemistry online at http://www.jbc.org . The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization with over 11,000 members in the United States and internationally. Most members teach and conduct research at colleges and universities. Others conduct research in various government laboratories, nonprofit research institutions, and industry. Founded in 1906, the Society is based in Bethesda, Maryland, on the campus of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. The Society's primary purpose is to advance the sciences of biochemistry and molecular biology through its publications, the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the Journal of Lipid Research, Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, and the holding of scientific meetings.
